I found the remains of one of the bins under the carrier will be interesting to see what else is lying in the bush close by,

Buggered If I Know
Ron, it looks as you described it, the transmission , chaind & reduction boxes are unknown to me, looks similar to a Stuart g/box, both cover & location of the levers but I don't know if the chains suit. Bizzare machine indeed...

Gearbox
I could be wrong, but if it's from a two man light tank it could be from a Marmon-Herrington. A few found their way to Aust during the war and used as training vehicles. Eventually they were all scrapped for parts. Mate, if it is from a M-H, there wouldn't be many around...........
